Servings: 5
Calories: 421kcal
Equipment
- Large Bowl
- Grill
- Medium Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (I used 80/20 - fattier meat means a juicier burger!)
- ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- ¼ cup BBQ Sauce
- ¼ teaspoon seasoned salt
- pepper, to taste
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
Secret Sauce
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup pickle relish
- 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 5 Hamburger Buns (we like sesame seed buns)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded cheese, bbq sauce, and seasonings. Don't add too much bbq sauce or the patties will have a hard time taking shape. Shape patties that are about 1 inch thick (about 5 patties). (You can also freeze the patties after shaping them for about 1 hour to help them hold their shape.)
- Turn grill up to high and let it get hot.
- Reduce heat to medium-high and place the burgers on the grill. Allow this side of the patty to cook for about 4-6 minutes, but make sure it does not burn. Then flip the burger over and cook until done.
- For the sauce, combine all sauce ingredients and whisk until well mixed. Taste and adjust ingredients to your liking.
- Assemble the burgers and serve with the special sauce and other hamburger toppings of choice.
Notes
- Keep your hamburger meat cold, that will help the patties stay together.
